An extended sound effect is when a sound effect has more letters than its known base word / letter combination, contains an extension dash, or in some way appears that the sound effect's implied sound should be prolonged.

Currently this tag is only used for onomatopoeia that have more letters than the base spelling (e.g. slurp -> sluuurrp).

Derivation handling

A derivation may be defined as an alternate way of spelling something that is similar, but not the same form. Think crack -> krak, or slurp -> shlurp. The nearest base derivation should be used in determining whether a sound effect is extended.

Slosh extension: slosh -> sloosh
Derived slosh extension: slorsh -> sloorsh

slosh -> slorsh is a derivation of slosh, not an extension.

Common examples

These sounds are extended more often than other sound effects.
